The Longest Goodbye

If all these walls could talk

You wouldn't hear a thing

'Cause all I do is cry

And no one's listening

I don't know where you stop

'Cause you bleed through everything

I think this might take my whole life

You're the longest goodbye

Thought that I knew you better

Guess nothin' lasts forever

But you still take up all my time

The longest goodbye

Just 'cause I never see you

Don't mean I learned to leave you

And all the love we left behind

I find you here and there

When I'm tryin' to forget

Even though I'll always care about you

I still wish we never met

And I hope you know I meant it

Even though you don't deserve it

But for now my door's still open wide

You're the longest goodbye

Thought that I knew you better

Guess nothin' last forever

But you still take up all my time

The longest goodbye

Just 'cause I never see you

Don't mean I learned to leave you

And all the love we left behind

And California's beautiful

But I might just let you have it

'Cause there's a whole wide world outside of me and you

And maybe in another life

We'll find out why this happened

And why there's always more of you to lose

Thought that I knew you better

Guess nothin' last forever

But you still take up all my time

The longest goodbye

Just 'cause I never see you

Don't mean I learned to leave you

And all the love we left behind

You're the longest goodbye, aye

Goodbye, hmm

And it might not look like it

But for what its worth I'm tryin'

This might take me my whole life

You're the longest goodbye
